Citizen have returned! Today the Toledo, Ohio rock powerhouse announce their new album, Halcyon Blues, due out Friday 7 August via Run For Cover/Civilians. To celebrate, the band have also unveiled the huge lead single Highs and Lows and confirmed their Australian return for February 2027, joined by very special guests Drug Church. Tickets will go on sale Friday 1 May at 10am local time via Destroy All Lines.
Citizen have always been determined to follow their own path, taking creative risks and challenging expectations at every turn. It’s all led to Halcyon Blues, a dynamic, confident release that draws on nearly two decades of musical and personal growth to emphatically declare what their dedicated fans already know: Citizen are one of our great modern rock bands–and they’re at the absolute top of their game.
Highs and Lows is a bold cut of technicolour alternative that steadily builds from a dark, pulsating bass line into the kind of euphoric chorus that few bands can come close to achieving. Prepare to hit repeat because the best rock song of the summer just arrived a little early.
